Traralgon beckons

Posted by 42junkie , 31 May 2012 · 645 views

I am preparing for the weekend's Traralgon Marathon by relaxing and trying to recover from the Barossa Marathon last Sunday. This morning I went for a sluggish 10 km and thought I wasn't feeling up to running another marathon this weekend. Then I had to remind myself I always feel like this when I run two in a row. And I went to my local bakery for one of their delicious orange and poppyseed muffins to make me feel better about life.

I have been reading the thread about the last minute change that was made to the Barossa Marathon course - made while I was out running it, which is cutting things fine. This hasn't happened to me before, the idea of a course change while I am doing it. At least I got to run a full marathon, unlike some poor but fast runners who ran 300 metres short apparently.

Good luck on Sunday, it would be nice if the coolrunners got together at some point after the run, maybe by one of us hollering out for coolrunners to gather in the Tennis Centre lounge or something. I'm doing the half, after doing the full on 2010 and having some surgery etc last year which I am now rebuilding from. Weather forecast is OK, cold but not extreme wind or anything and showers not too likely. Course is unlikely to be affected by anything less than floods of Noahs Ark proportions, which are not predicted. The Latrobe River under the bridges will have high flow from last week but won't be near us. The cakes at the end are pretty good too.
